Monday’s lawsuit targets a major player in the D.C. business, education and philanthropic worlds. (D.C. Superior Court)

Another shoe has dropped in Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan’s investigation into charter-school profiteering, and more of a Size 15 army boot: Nathan filed suit Monday alleging that Kent Amos, a prominent businessman and political player, illegally sucked millions of dollars out of his Community Academy Public Charter School over the past decade. Much like the Options charter school case, Amos allegedly profited by owning a for-profit company that contracted with the nonprofit charter school for work of questionable value, The Post’s Emma Brown reports. Among the for-profit firm’s assets: a 2010 Lexus sport-utility vehicle with the license plate “KIDS.” Amos’s attorney, Frederick D. Cooke Jr., says the charges are “without merit” and rooted in a “significant and philosophical difference of opinion” over city law.
